Happy holidays everyone! It’s time for our annual recap, and we needed an appropriate theme for the year in which there was an explosion of internet memes. One favorite was the short-lived Texts from Hillary (be sure to check out the archive). So, here’s our salute to everything that was fantastic in 2012.
Ed’s mother, who’s 94, moved to a retirement community this spring, and she’s adjusted really well and has made new friends, even though she “doesn’t like looking at all these old people”.

She’s even gotten pretty good at using her cell phone (since she’s never in her apartment).
x
We were inspired to spend more time outdoors after reading all three books in the Hunger Games series.
x
In our quest to play golf in all 50 states, we took a road trip and played in West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
x
Ed renewed his love of dancing and became a Korean sensation.
x
We watched too much of the Olympics on TV and even followed the athletes’ exploits after the games ended.
x
Jean continues to make quilts for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative — please support their efforts which have raised over $878,000 for Alzheimer’s research.
x
Maybe the best entertainment value of the year was watching all the election coverage.
x
Even though the winter has been really mild (thanks global warming!), Ed did some shopping for a new winter coat.
x
Just in case the Mayan’s were right, we wanted to get our greetings to you before doomsday.
x
Wishing you peace, health, happiness and no political robo-calls in 2013.
